Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Extended from *krěpъ + *-ъkъ. According to Derksen[1], possibly akin to Icelandic hræfa (to endure, to tolerate), from Proto-Indo-European *kreh₁p-. Kroonen[2] considers a possible (but not certain) borrowing from Germanic.

See also Proto-Slavic *krěti, *krějati/*krьjati (to recover, to gather strength) (whence Bulgarian крея (kreja), Czech křáti).
